The 2010 world cup in Cape Town is happening right here

The 2010 world cup is going to be awesome! The whole of
Cape Town South Africa
is alive with excitement and new goals are set for all of us as we approach kick off in June.

It is very exciting living among the South African people now. We are all talking about FIFA. If you find an entrepreneur nearby, you are sure to hear some new plan for making money with the 2010 explosion of interest in our country.

People are re-designing their businesses and even their houses. I asked a woman in a shantytown what she was doing. She said that FIFA is coming and we all need to paint our houses!
